Radiesse®
Radiesse® is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler that restores a natural, youthful look. Used to treat areas with obvious signs of facial aging, Radiesse® does more than other fillers that simply work to erase wrinkles - it rebuilds your skin's foundation and restores your youthful look. Its unique contouring ability allows physicians or nurses to treat large areas of the face in one procedure.
How does Radiesse® work?
Radiesse® works with your body, below the skin's surface. It is an injectable filler made of synthetic minerals. A gel carrier delivers the particles and holds them in place. When injected, the gel carrier creates a temporary fill, lasting anywhere from three to six months. The calcium particles left behind create a scaffold for your tissue to build around which creates the longer term fill.
What is Radiesse® made of?
Radiesse® is composed of tiny microspheres of a synthetic material called calcium hydroxylapatite that is combined with a common hydrogel used in a vast array of products. The result is a white, creamy substance with similar structural characteristics as bone and teeth.
Where can Radiesse® be used?
For facial contouring, Radiesse® can be used for smoothing and contouring smile lines or nasolabial folds; acne scarring; cheek, chin or jawline augmentation; or non-surgical rhinoplasty.
Is there any downtime with the procedure?
Radiesse® allows you to resume your daily activities immediately. You may experience some mild swelling or redness at the injection site that typically last no longer than a day.
How long will the results of a Radiesse® treatment last?
One treatment may last a year or longer. By having a touch-up treatment, results may last 18 months to two years.
